Back And Forth All Week

Back And Forth All Week

My Swing Trading Approach I didn’t pull the trigger on any new trades yesterday, as I wanted to hold out until today to see whether the market would provide us with the necessary follow through to the upside. I also booked some profits yesterday in one of my trades, as price action faded into the […]
Tesla Tumbles As Going Private Chaos Turns “Ominous”

Tesla Tumbles As Going Private Chaos Turns “Ominous”

In the aftermath of Musk’s bizarre, emotional tell all in the NYT, as Tesla’s “going private” chaos turns more “ominous”, and as the SEC continues to get even closer while new lawsuits for market manipulation are filed daily by disgusted shorts against Elon Musk, investors are taking a step back from Tesla stock which is […]
Turkish Stocks Still Declining

Turkish Stocks Still Declining

One factor behind Thursday’s rally in US equities was an apparent stabilization of the situation in Turkey. Not only had the lira rebounded off of its lows from earlier in the week, but the ETF that tracks Turkish stocks (TUR) also bounced more than 10% off of its lows. It doesn’t look like much, but […]
Titanic Tesla

Titanic Tesla

If you want to upset bulls, make your stock go down. If you want to upset bears, make your stock go up. If you want to truly upset either of them, make the aforementioned actions happen really, really fast. But what if you want to do BOTH? Infuriate bulls and bears alike? IMPOSSIBLE, you say! Nonsense. Just ask the new Steve Jobs. Joking aside, as much […]
The Longest Bull Market In History & What Happens Next

The Longest Bull Market In History & What Happens Next

“Barring a breathtaking plunge, the bull market in U.S. stocks on Aug. 22 will become the longest in history, and optimistic investors argue it has miles to go before it rests.” – Sue Cheng, MarketWatch Depending on how you measure beginnings and endings, or what constitutes a bear market or the beginning of a bull market, makes […]
Coffee Price Keeps Falling Creating An Interesting Buying Opportunity

Coffee Price Keeps Falling Creating An Interesting Buying Opportunity

Coffee is an important component in our every day life. Billions of people consume it every day and with lifestyle brands like Starbucks growing worldwide, its demand is increasing. It is produced mostly in Brazil, Vietnam, Columbia, and Indonesia, with most of the demand coming from Asia, Europe, and United States. While the demand for […]
Oil Prices Are Going To The Extreme

Oil Prices Are Going To The Extreme

Oil prices made a major peak in 2008. In many ways the peak is similar to the 1980 one. It took 24 years for prices to surpass the 1980 peak (see macrotrends.net chart below). It has now been 10 years since the 2008 peak. This tells me that oil will struggle for many years to come, especially […]

Silver Prices: Gray Metal Could Be A Better Opportunity Than Gold

Silver Prices May Be Down, But It Is Still Presenting a Great Opportunity Silver prices trade at $14.45 an ounce. Year-to-date, the gray precious metal prices have declined more than 15%. From its highs in 2011, silver is down about 70%. With this, one could be asking if silver is still worth the investment. Put […]
USD/CAD Tanks After CA Inflation Surprise, Will Bears Target < 1.30 Next?

USD/CAD Tanks After CA Inflation Surprise, Will Bears Target < 1.30 Next?

With price pressures still running at a subdued level throughout the developed world, hotter-than-expected inflation readings have been hard to come by of late. Perhaps today’s Canadian inflation data marks a turning point for that trend. The just released July CPI reading from Canada printed at 0.5% month-over-month (3.0% year-over-year), crushing economists’ expectations of just […]
US Business Cycle Risk Report – Friday, August 17

US Business Cycle Risk Report – Friday, August 17

Geopolitical risk is rising, but if there’s a price to pay in terms of sharply softer economic growth or worse for the US it’s not showing up in the numbers, at least not yet. With most of the July data published the macro profile remains upbeat and near-term projections suggest the positive trend will persist. […]
